Hi I was suspended from...

Hi I was suspended from work on 30th sept 2015. 3allegations against me. 1. I made referral to sc without consulting manager2.i held professional sg meeting without consulting manager. 3.i shared confidential info for the meeting without consent.I've already attended 1 investigatory meeting and supplied a statement. I admit to the 1st one with mitigating circumstances. But I do not agree with last 2 allegations. I have put in WB complaint about my manager who is an incompetent bully. This led to a grievience investigation which has been passed to an independent review panel to be concluded next week. I am attending a 2nd investigatory meeting tomorrow with a staff rep. I have provided a written response for this after going over all the evidence gathered. Again I was isolated and bullied by my manager and not given appropriate support or guidance. I have been an employee for a year and 10 months and am not a member of union. Any tips you could give me for tomorrow's meeting?
